Yeah, the actual thing. Now we're getting into the meat. But one more. No, no, no, no, these are things we're just promoting.
Starting point is 00:06:57 No, one more thing. I do need to ask everybody to do me a huge mother fucking favor and leave a comment on the YouTube channel on this episode. Because, you know you know it's been sparse lately and I want to know what people think. The comments? I want to know yes. I want people to to give it to criticize. No. Tell us.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Tell us how far. Yeah, make them all negative this. No. Yeah, make it. Let's make them negative. I feel like maybe nice ones are the way. Nice ones. So here's what you're going to do.
Starting point is 00:07:24 You're going to give it a thumbs up, but then you're also gonna leave a negative comment. There we go All and only about him. No, I That's how we're gonna do it. I don't do that. I'm more sensitive than Ben Oh anyway, so Folks, oh boy. What a week. I mean it is the week of Elon Musk really isn't it He'd like to think every week is but but there's one. Every week is. He really made a splash, didn't he? Yeah, he really did.
Starting point is 00:07:48 He did. He, what's the first thing? I don't even know where it started. We got, probably Linda Yaccarina, huh? That's how you say the last name? I don't know. I thought it was Yaccarina. I say her name like that and I say,
Starting point is 00:07:58 what is that, the fourth Animaniac? I'm allowed to say it, I'm Italian. Wait, what were the animaniacs and were they Italian? No, but they're all like Yakko smear enough. It's like, yeah, shit, is that go? Okay, who cares? The animaniacs was to show on the WB and there was Yakko, Minerva, Slapy, Rita. What's the fuck? And Vaniacs? Yeah, well, oh yeah, Yakko, Wacko. I remember Mr. Skullhead.
Starting point is 00:08:31 It doesn't matter. Anyway, it was a show on the WB, right? And Katie Kaboom, I, yeah, yeah, Hachi Machi. I'd like to see if she could fit her fist in my mouth if you know what I'm saying. Well, so Elon Musk finally did as I predicted. I mean, he said that he was... What did he talk about?
Starting point is 00:08:48 I predicted that he was gonna do it within a certain time frame. And he did, so you know what, I just like to scratch that and say that I didn't predict shit. I'm pretty idiot. Anyway. So he said he was gonna name, it was actually like immediate.
Starting point is 00:09:04 He was like within the next six weeks, I'm gonna name CEO, I was gonna be covered. And said he was gonna, he was gonna name, it was actually like immediate. He was like within the next six weeks, I'm gonna name CEO, I was gonna go over and then I was like, he was like, it's Linda Yacquerano from NBC Universal. Do you think it had anything to do with their conversation that they had at that? In Miami? Yeah, it was like the ad, what was that? An ad festival?
Starting point is 00:09:22 Welcome. Do you get your bracelet for the ad festival? She's all ads. That would actually be a good one. So what Ben is referring to is she interviewed him at, uh, I don't know exactly what it is. Some kind of, I don't know what it was. Some kind of conference. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Uh, but she was schooling him on why advertisers don't have pulled out of twins. I'm also pretty sure she let him know a while ago that, hey, I'm interested in being the CEO. And I think more than anything, I'd say it's a signal that he's admitting he was wrong without actually having to do it. Because he took over and he was like, we're going all subs.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Advertising is not as important as you think it is. We're gonna have 69 million subs by 2023 and we'll have like 200 million by 2020, whatever. Are those real numbers? I'm pretty sure you said the 69 million things. Of course you fucking did. Little did he know it would become cringe to get a blue check mark for the most part.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Not Reebok. Some people got it because they needed it. He know it would become cringe to get a blue check mark for the most part. Different. I'm people got it because they needed it. But it's like a stain on your on your profile. It's really annoying. I come on, everybody relax. It's this animator guy that I know and love who does the show smiling friends on HBO. And if you haven't seen it, watch it.
Starting point is 00:10:42 It's so good. He got one. Because to help promote a show, like come on. Because you get you get priority. Sure. Yeah. But but that's the thing. So now when you when you click on anything, you have to scroll past all the blue checks that are going like, you know, saying horrible things and then you're like, okay, and now here's where the normal stuff happens.

Shopify.com slash Trill. Trill. But yeah, so it kind of seems like he's being like, okay, maybe that wasn't a good idea because he has now tapped Linda Yaccarino, who was the chief of advertising at NBC
Starting point is 00:12:52 Universal. Yeah, who has? He was there for 11 years. Deep, deep relationships with all these advertisers and brands and everything and truly thinks advertising is the way to bring in revenue. She's not wrong. Yeah. And I mean, she worked through kind of the hard period of TV transitioning online, all that stuff, she knows her stuff. Elon said that she will focus primarily on business operations while I focus on product
Starting point is 00:13:22 design and new technology. And did you see he also wrote cis ops, but it looked like siops. I've seen it printed even in some publications. I think people think he's... S-Y-S-Ops? Yeah, like system operations. Right, but it looks like siops when you're reading quickly.
Starting point is 00:13:42 What do they think that he did that on purpose or something? I don't know, it was just a stupid way to write it. And like literally I think it was in the Washington Post or something or somewhere. It was just a mistake on their part. Interestingly, she's not the first and only woman that he's tapped to help his companies. I learned, I did not notice.
Starting point is 00:14:02 There's a woman named Gwen Shotwell, who runs SpaceX as president and CEO. CEO, oh, sorry. And she's actually, it's funny because you never hear about it. But, and yet, I guess within the industry, she is credited as being the key to SpaceX's, SpaceX's success.
Starting point is 00:14:22 I got a lot of SpaceX's success. SpaceX is a success, damn, that is hard to say. SpaceX's success, I got a lot of SpaceX's. SpaceX's success. Damn, that is hard to say. SpaceX's success is fuck. All my SpaceX's is living Texas. Anyway. Well, and then there was Robin Denholm, who's the chairman of Tesla,
Starting point is 00:14:37 chairwoman of Tesla. I think he's still chairman, chairperson. Yeah, I'm sure he'd be chairperson. Yeah, I read it as chair chairman still. But well, that's what's funny about the new hierarchy at Twitter is he's the owner. Well, he's the executive chairman still. Right. So I believe she reports to him. Yeah, but he reports to her in his other capacity as head of siops. Chief technology officer. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:15:11 What a fucking. So he's going to be like, hey, I'd like to make sure we're putting more racist stuff on the front page. And she's like, no, you can't. And then he's like, this is this is the executive chairman speaking. Yeah. We're going to put more race and stuff on the home page. He truly can just go around anything. I'm sure that he'll play ball with her because he now knows that he can't.
Starting point is 00:15:35 I think he's going to talk a big game, but then actually tone it down. When push comes to shove, people don't advertise. Just don't want to be this is what she told them. They don't want to be associated with a brand that's known for what it's become known for now. No matter what he says, even if he says, like well, there's actually a reduction of white supremacy and shit like that.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Curious. Yeah, curious. It doesn't matter. Also, 625 of the top thousand advertisers on Twitter have so far bailed and their revenues have dropped 60% from October to January. Curious. Yeah, it's almost like I will say There does there is something to be said for a lot of these advertisers seem to bail seem to be bailing kind of because it's
Starting point is 00:16:21 It's just him right? It's just him, right? I don't know, I think that's the sense that I get. And not necessarily that it's content that they're scared of being associated with. I think it depends who you'd ask. I think there's probably some people who are like, okay, this is proof that advertisers are woke, right? But for anyone who uses the app, it's very clear that the app is different now. I think advertisers probably don't want their products next to a lot of stuff, right?
Starting point is 00:16:49 Dude, my app, the amount of time I have to say not interested in this, just because I don't want to see fucking street fights all the time, is like... Weird, street fights. Like, so much fighting. So many fight videos. So, it's... But then, there's also probably people who are like, yeah, I don't know if we want my ad being next to the thing where it's like an edited, an edited graph that makes it look like black on white crime is disproportionately high or whatever because Elon is replying to end-wokeness to be like, wow, we should look into this.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Oh man, I'm, uh, yeah, mine is just when I do the, the four you thing, it's mostly a lot of, it's mostly a lot of right wingers. It's Jack Pesobick and it's Mike Cernovich and it's other grade A dipshit. Wait, that's how you say it, Paso-Bitch? Paso-Bitch. What did you say? Paso-Bick. Paso-Bick? Yeah, but Paso-Bitch.
Starting point is 00:17:51 That dude's in my shit all the time. And they're, they're just, they're shitty, despicable people, but. So there was that. Elon did that. And then. Wait, did you also did what? So it just goes, it reminded me
Starting point is 00:18:07 because you were talking about the other female chiefs at his companies. Yeah. And when he fucked one of them and had twins with her. So I wonder if he's got it going on with her too because now he's not. Elon Musk is now on Nick Cannon mode where he's just baby crazy
Starting point is 00:18:24 and it's now a turn on for him. Yeah, I mean, did you see I stoked he was when D'Nero, when he found out D'Nero was doing again? He's like, oh, with me. We love seeing studs at 79. Yeah, we'll get to that part. By the way, we've got all his weird tweets and shit because he's just, he's so fucking weird right now. But I was gonna, did you see people talking about the glass cliff thing? No. Do you know about the glass cliff thing?
Starting point is 00:18:45 No. Do you know what the glass cliff is? No. It's this thing from, this theory from 2005 about how when women CEOs are brought on, it's often, they're put in a position where the company is already failing. So people are, what? That sucks. Yeah, here we are.
Starting point is 00:19:01 I don't want to fuck this up. So basically, they're saying that women were more likely to be appointed to leadership roles in times of crisis. And as a result, we're more likely to fail. Um, Melissa, what's your name? The Yahoo. That's one. Yep.
Starting point is 00:19:17 So examples include Carly Fierre Vennett, HP Marissa Meyer, Yahoo, Sugrove, who took over as CEO of Bed Bath and Beyond last year midfilling sales. Um, yeah. So. Do we have positive turnaround? took over a CEO of Bed Bath and Beyond last year midfilling sales. Yeah. So do we have a positive turnaround stories? Some feel good stories? Give me something feel good, man. Nothing. Women are bad at business. What I mean, the road has just said, check the tape, check the tape. Well, Melissa, that's not the point. The point is that they get either, they're only considered when the company's already
Starting point is 00:19:48 in a bad position, or they like to be like, oh, you know, what, but women are saying, we can handle, we can handle companies when times are good as well. Of course they can. Yeah. What's in a meagre? But you were saying, you know,
Starting point is 00:20:02 that this woman is being credited as, what was it, Tesla or SpaceX? Yeah, when, when shot well at SpaceX. But he's not acting in a way, and as we're going to get into, he's not acting in a way where he's like, oh, I'm going to make it easy for Linda Yaccerino. Yeah. He seems to be acting in a way that might make it quite difficult to get some of these advertisers back. Yeah. Hey guys, we want to take a quick break to thank another sponsor of today's episode,
Starting point is 00:20:28 BetterHelp. You know, in any given week, how much time do we spend on ourselves versus how much time we spend on other people, huh? I mean, me personally, I don't get enough me time. I gotta do more. I gotta figure out a better way to balance the two, and I'll tell you how I do it. I do it with a little thing called a therapy. That's how you get it going. That's how you bounce out. It's so easy to get caught up in what everyone else needs from you and never take a moment to think about what you need from yourself.
Starting point is 00:20:57 But when we spend all of our time giving, it can leave us feeling stretched, thin, and burned out. Look guys, we all know, you know, just life comes at you quick. It's throwing all kinds of stuff at you. And if you're not taking time to process that stuff, it's all just gonna build, at least that's my experience. That's right.
Starting point is 00:21:15 And I need, it helps me to talk through it. What's going on? I actually figure out what my emotions are surrounding this event in my life. And I love it. You said emotions, but I'm gonna let that pass. Because I was thinking about my cow that died. If you're thinking of starting therapy,
Starting point is 00:21:33 give BetterHelp a try. It's entirely online designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule. Just fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist and switch therapists anytime for no additional charge. So he did they had their annual share Tesla had their annual shareholder meeting this week And then I believe immediately thereafter he granted an interview to CNBC What's the guy's name the interviewer?
Starting point is 00:22:14 cares Can't get it I Can see his fucking face it was um there's a little blazer on It was um, it was a little blazer on. Just an absolute fucking, it's like, it's funny in the wake of the Trump thing, seeing it, all these, most of these mainstream journalists are so fucking bad at their job. Elon is like stepping on his own dick and this guy can't like, let him do it. It just can't produce a rebuttal. Yeah. I mean, just more of like a, wow, it's really interesting that you do that.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Why? Why do you do that? But I mean, let's see. Yeah. So let's play the first clip and and we'll maybe have to cut around it. But I really, we should cut around it because it's, it's so crazy. But so we'll just have to bear with the fact that it is four minutes and 15 seconds Long, maybe we could just cut around it. Let's let's talk some shit. So here
Starting point is 00:23:13 I'm looking for because I want to make sure I quoted properly, but I mean you know what you wrote, but Might need us is like Fuck we need our own control here to be able to but Okay, pause it. Fuck, we need our own control here to be able to, but first of all, so he's talking about, and we'll get into this a little bit. Also, I wanna note there is a part that gets cut off here where Elon makes him look a little silly
Starting point is 00:23:35 because he's talking about, he's bringing up conspiracy theories, and Elon points out the fact that, you know, well, some of these conspiracies theories do turn out to be true. And the guys just like, uh, well, yeah, sure, I wasn't prepared for that. Jesus. So what happened this week also was famous Jew Ben George George Soros famous billionaire Jew Right wing boogie man George Soros liquidated his shares of it was only like $16 million worth of Tesla only 16 million bucks, which is a drop in the bucket and
Starting point is 00:24:19 Just so happens that right after that news became public when all the filings were updated Elon Musk took to Twitter to say that That George Soros reminds him of Magneto the character from the X-Men who is a villain who also happens to be a Jewish Holocaust survivor just like George Soros So anyway, yeah, let's continue Yeah, let's continue. Man, I can pit a piece out of it. You also have no- You said he wants to road the very fabric of civilization and so does Hades Humanity. Like, when you do something like that,
Starting point is 00:24:52 do you think about it? Yeah, I think that's true, that's my opinion. Okay, but why share it? Why share it? Especially because, I mean, why share it when people who buy Teslas may not agree with you? Advertises aren't Twitter may not agree with you. Why not just say, hey, I think this, you can talk about it.
Starting point is 00:25:06 I mean, we can talk about it over there. Pause for a second. This shit is, this is such a fucking shitty line of questioning. Like, why share it because he fucking wants to. He's allowed to do what he wants. The real problem is like, and he never gets to it at all. Is he's doing these dogwistly things. He's not stating anything anti-semitic outright. Right. But everyone knows what he means when they go like, up, George Soros, there's a fucking Jewish conspiracy, it's all this fucking bullshit.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Yeah, and I get that. I kind of disagree, and we'll, again, sorry, we're gonna be talking about a bunch here, but I just would like to side note, look at the difference between their eyes. The guy on the left has human eyes. The interviewer has very human eyes that you can see warmth and life behind.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Elon Musk's eyes for the audio listener are dead as a fucking possum, like a fully dead possum, not even playing possum. He's just, there's something, and don't give me that well because he's a fucking alien from another world and Alien wouldn't be pursuing these kind of trivial things. He'd be like acting like Jesus Christ Trying to solve meaningful problems not selling electric cars. They're suck my dick there
Starting point is 00:26:17 There does he seem to be something going on weird with his face I think he's probably as Botox. Oh, cuz his top lip like does fucking move. You know what the other thing I've noticed about him. He uses, he doesn't touch his lips together when he speaks. He touches his top teeth to his bottom lip like this. Tesla, that's how he does. Yeah, because his top lip doesn't mean it's fucking this. He does, he talks like this and that's how he tries me insane.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Just, oh God, okay. So he tweeted about George Soros and he's such a big, he's just such a big, bratty child that his response as well because I can say whatever I want. Yeah, of course you can, brother. Right, you know what I think the problem is? Oh, there's just one. I think this is the main problem, which is,
Starting point is 00:27:10 I think that we're seeing, we're watching him have a temper tantrum because. Absolutely, because he was like, if I become the richest man in the world, that means I'm king of the world. I can do whatever I want. And then he became the richest man in the world and he's like, wait, I can't do whatever I want. I can't say the N word without any repercussions.
Starting point is 00:27:30 I don't think that was one of his things. I do think it is. I think he's so pissed that he can't say like the K word. I think that he's watching him just freak out right now. I think that he's pissed because he wants to be, he used to be so revered and liked and admired by everyone and now that's no longer the case because he opened his big fucking mouth and has to check. The richest man in the world should be, you could be so much more different in classy, not a fucking, not a fucking circa 2002 LAN party gamer nerd, okay?
Starting point is 00:28:04 Like he just, he just wants to use gamer words. So bad, he can't do it, what he wants to do. But that's the problem, that's what he is. He's the circa 2002. Yeah, he's stuck there permanently. And he's trying to, let's continue. It's like when you see someone in their 40s and you're like, oh, why do you dress like that?
Starting point is 00:28:21 And it's like, oh, because that's how you just stop dressing. Yeah. In the early stop dressing. Yeah. In the early 2000s. Yeah. Tell your friends, but why share it widely? I mean, this is freedom of speech, I'm allowed to say what I would have. You absolutely are, but I'm trying to understand
Starting point is 00:28:38 why you do because you have to know it's gotta, there, it puts you in the middle of a partisan divide in the country, it makes you a lightning rod of a partisan divide in the country. It makes you a lightning rod for criticism. I mean, do you like that? Of course he does. And then people today are saying he's an anti-Semite. I don't think you are.
Starting point is 00:28:52 No, I'm definitely not. I'm like a pro-Semite. That's a funny retort. I believe that probably is the case. Yes. But why would you even introduce the idea that that would be from a fucking moral? I mean, we don't want to make this a George Sars interview. No, God no.
Starting point is 00:29:07 I don't want to involve, but I'm, what I'm trying, even came up though in the annual meeting. I mean, you know, do your tweets hurt the company? Are there test loaners just say, I don't agree with his political position, because, and I know it because he shares so much of it. Or there are advertisers on Twitter
Starting point is 00:29:22 that Linda Yarkarino will come and say, you gotta stop, man, or, you know, i can't get these ads because of some of the things you tweet it's pausing i'm processing thinking it's so long so fucking okay we get it your genius you know i'm reminded of... The seed in the Princess bride. Pause it.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Great movie. Imagine pausing for fucking 25 seconds and being like, you know, I'm thinking about the Princess bride right now. I'm thinking about Mandy Patinkin's ass right now. I'm thinking about Mandy Patinkin's ass right now. It's annoying to me because I know that he knows what he's doing because he read YouTube comments that said at some point like, wow, it's really a sign of intelligence that he just takes as much time as he needs to formulate an answer, which like, yes, just scrolling just scrolling through movie quotes. Just, uh, fucking nope, not wedding crashers.
Starting point is 00:30:29 But I wish he had done that. He had done wedding crashes instead. You know, it reminds me of something that, um, um, somebody's Somebody's got me. Yeah, I'm going to have a quote from a movie from 1994. Believe it's Jim Kerry. He's wearing a mask and he said, somebody stopped me and nobody could see because he was all powerful. I don't know. Fuck Jesus Christ. But if I could just quote the mask one more time, smoking, it's smoky. Okay, well, let's let him. Wait, wait, wait, wait. I got to, his thing is that he's so self-important,
Starting point is 00:31:26 he, I mean, I get it, brother. If I were the wealthiest man in the world, I'd be tweeting shit too. But I would hope that I would have something more, I don't know. Because we have proof that this is not what you have to do. There were many richest men in the world before. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:31:40 And no one was like, I'm going absolutely nuts. I just got on a tweet out, weird racist dog whistle. Yeah, that's true. And no one was like, I'm going absolutely nuts. I just got on a tweet out weird racist dog whistle. Yeah, yeah. But yeah, if you have some, I can't quite put my finger on it. It's like my brother in Christ, you do not need to let the world know what you think about George Soros in, oh, so eloquently in George Soros's magneto. I can great fucking sick burn. It's freeo. I can great fucking sick burn. It's free speech.
Starting point is 00:32:06 I can say whatever I want. Yes, nobody is denying that. The question is, if you are running these businesses, that you are the public face of, and it is now proof that your shitty reputation is harming sales like, what do you fucking do it? Yeah. But buddy, but Cl but clam also to be clear
Starting point is 00:32:26 I don't give a fuck about George Sora's like we are not yeah me poor George Sora's it's just like I don't know if you're gonna criticize them at least talk about how you don't think billionaire should be spending all their money and controlling well we'll get there all right the rest of this what else does he say I don't care where he confronts the person who killed his father. He says, I offer me money. I offer me power. I don't care. He also gets the line wrong.
Starting point is 00:33:03 See, you just don't care. Like that's not the line. You want to share what you have to say. I'll say what I want to say and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it. Truly a 13 year old boy. Yeah it's like nobody's telling any of these fuckers that they can't, nobody's throwing you in jail man nobody's god damn if anything a lot of people are like a plot that was the worst thing I've been there yeah they're getting a pause for it I fucking watch Stephen Crowder's dumbass talk about it in reference to this he loved it I mean mean, what's the old adage?
Starting point is 00:33:45 Who you are is who you hang out with? Something like that? I saw it on popsicle stick. You like with dogs, you get fleas? Who gets it fleas? If you like with dogs, you get fleas. Sure, something like that. Something along those lines.
Starting point is 00:33:59 Who are the people? Who are the ilk? Who are his ilk? Who likes him? I don't know if he hangs out with Stephen Crowder. I'm sure he's got I'm sure that What you think they hang they all love to praise him now because everything is he contributes to the very problem He claims to be so against
Starting point is 00:34:16 which is the The cultural divide the culture wars and all this shit. It's like dude. You're doing exactly You're doing exactly that.

Starting point is 00:36:31 is any link to somebody who's talking about the guy who killed children in a mall in, in Alan, Texas, and you, you say something like it might be a bad siop. I'm not quite sure what you meant, but. It might be a bad siop. I'm not quite sure what you meant. Oh, in that particular case, there was a somehow, that's not the osteoporal killed. But it was, I think, incorrectly as right,
Starting point is 00:37:04 the white supremacist action. And the evidence for that was some obscure Russian website that no one's ever heard of that had no followers. And the company that found this is Bellingcat. Right. And do you know what Bellingcat does? Scyops. Right. this is belling cat right at your local does silo's right i couldn't really even follow exactly what it was you're trying to express
Starting point is 00:37:29 their so that's part why i was curious but i'm saying i thought that the that the describing it to white supremacy was bullshit okay and and and and and and that the information for okay wait positive for one second he's not he's not wrong about the belling cat thing but the the reason that it was assumed he was a white supremacist. Do you know why because he had whites? He had Nazi tattooed a giant swastika tattooed on his chest. He had SS tattooed on his bicep and he had
Starting point is 00:37:55 other Nazi symbols on his hands. Yeah So okay, maybe it'll be the debunked, but like Usually when people have a swastika tattooed on themselves, it's safe to assume. Yeah, I would say so. And then when it's coupled with an SS and other Nazi insignia, it's like, we're pretty close. So let's see how the anchor comes up.
Starting point is 00:38:18 I came from an obscure Russian website and was somehow magically found by Velenkatt, which is a company that does siops and there's no proof by the way that he was not is no prior i would say that there's no proof that he is now he's going to bring up the photo right to debate you want to get it no you dumb fuck yes useless because we should not be describing things to watch per se if it if it's false. Okay. You sluss mother. All right.
Starting point is 00:38:46 I mean, I guess that's what he cares about. Okay. Then he thinks that he said that he thinks worked from working from home as bullshit and this this fucking part was crazy, man. Listen to what he says here. I will say. No, he calls it morally wrong. Right.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Okay. That was. I agree with him on some of it. Like, I think it's impossible. I think people should be able to work from home in circumstances, but it's impossible to say that you're not losing out on some things when you're working from home. And, but yeah, the morally wrong thing is,
Starting point is 00:39:21 all right, well, that's just, he's like fucking bananas. Look, I'm a big believer that people need to are more productive when they're in person. And really, the whole sort of work from home thing, it's like, I think it's, there are some exceptions, but I kind of think that the whole notion of work from home is a bit like, you know, the fake, the fake, the internet court, let them eat cake. It's like, it's like, really, you're going to work from home and you're going to make everyone else, you made your car come work to the factory, you're going to make the
Starting point is 00:40:01 people who make your food that gets delivered, that they can't work from home, the, you know, the people that come fix your house, they can't work from home, but you can. Does that seem morally right? Let's mess up. You see this. Okay. Everyone should suffer that it's certain jobs by necessity. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Need to be done. You can't remotely work on someone's fucking house or build a car You should be able to build the car from your house though. You should give them all the parts cook Cook via drone or something have the chefs do that. Fuck it It's god what a moron. What a fuck. He's got what a fault terrible false equivalent. This is Elon having a solidarity with with workers Then he was talking about why he's the reason why open AI exists, which is true. It's just the, it's just yet another symptom of Elan's ego that he, he's got to be the, the main character. He's the reason why the coolest. He's pissed off because he's no longer
Starting point is 00:41:04 involved with the big hot cool new thing. He's essentially, and he walked away from it. He funded it. He came as he says. He came up with the name for it. Okay. The whole thing was getting a little gay. He said that? No. Oh. I know this AI is going to be drinking Bud Light. Oh, that's good. That's very good. I like that. That was pretty good. So now he, we don't even need to play this clip because it's five minutes, but Of course now he's starting his own AI Project and he was saying that Tesla's AI is so advanced. It's
Starting point is 00:41:52 Scary and once again. It's just around the corner. Yeah, it's always just around the corner robots can pick stuff up now The robots can pick stuff up and go up us there He went on to say that China and America are like he called them conjoined twins instead of Conjoined. Conjoined. His just. Silly. Silly. Different. And that he thinks that the Fed actually too much latency and I I agree with that. They were too slow to raise rates and they were. Are going to be too slow to cut them, but let's get into George George Soros, shall we? Oh wait, wait, just before we do. What? What?
Starting point is 00:42:29 The real line from that... Princess Brad? What was it? Is that... Oh, now I'm gonna fuck it up, but it's basically like, I want my father back. Yeah. And I think it's funny that was the line he reached for, you know?
Starting point is 00:42:42 You can give me. He's got a... He's got a money, I don't want it. He's got a, he's clearly got a complicated relationship with his daddy. Yeah. And maybe this is all, maybe this is all the result of that. Just give him his daddy back.
Starting point is 00:42:54 It's always, it's how everybody's got daddy issues, man. Everybody's got him. You, me, Elon, Elon's daddy. He's Trump's daddy, Trump Jr. We gotta break the cycle. We gotta break the cycle. We gotta break the cycle. We gotta break the generational trauma. Only Elon Musk can do it.
Starting point is 00:43:11 He's gonna invent the ex everything app is also gonna have fucking therapy or something. It'll have an AI of your dad that says nice things. He he he he. Uh. All right, so George Soros. Yeah, you wanted to look So George Soros. Yeah, you wanted to look into George Soros. As we said, wait, let's, let's click those Twitter links.
Starting point is 00:43:31 The Soros fund sold all 16 million shares, $16 million worth of shares, and he immediately took the Twitter to say, Soros reminds me of Magneto. And then he sarcastically, just a few hours ago, ago said I'd like to apologize for this post and then said it was really unfair to Magneto. That's fucking electric. Epic. That was an epic win. Epic.
Starting point is 00:43:54 But the real, he really doubled down when that guy Brian Crasenstein responded to him. Yeah. It was this one. Yeah, yeah. He wrote it for a second. He said fun fact. Magneto's experience is during the Holocaust as a survivor shaped his perspective as well as his depth and empathy. Soros also a Holocaust survivor gets attacked nonstop for his good intentions with some Americans think are bad merely because they disagree with this. His political affiliation. Oh, yeah. And then that was his.
Starting point is 00:44:23 His political affiliation. Oh, yeah, and then that was his Yeah, then then What's his name responded? We'll just go king shit of fuck mountain responded You assume that they are good intentions. They are not he wants to erode the very fabric of civilization Soros hates humanity Really really man? You think he hates humanity? You think he just he wants to erode the very fabric of civilization? Guess what? He's part of civilization. You say any suicidal?
Starting point is 00:44:51 He wants to just... Do Jewish Jehod on... Jewish Jehod was my high school's band. That's a pretty cool name actually. Jewish Jehod. Thank you for coming. We are Jewish G-Hud. What the hell, Diver?
Starting point is 00:45:07 Well, so let's get into who George Soros is. Well, because it is interesting. These guys love to go after Soros, but they don't pick some of these other billionaires who like to do similar things, but in a quite the opposite vein, right? In a right wing. I think it's because sorrows, you know, they don't go after Coke I don't know if I've ever heard Elon Musk talk about the coke brothers. No, of course or
Starting point is 00:45:33 They talk about Bill Gates Right Not Jeff Bezos Not I don't I couldn't even name another one I don't know well, so let's get into it. I think also just real fast. Soros' name sounds very, it sounds like an evil villain name. You're saying that because it sounds Greek a little bit,
Starting point is 00:45:53 which is fucked up. He's not Greek. No, I know, but it sounds the OS on the end. You were, it does. It sounds like, you have so much pen-to-present made against me that you just, against Greeks? You sounds like, you have so much pen tap resentment against me that you just, against Greeks, you heard her.
Starting point is 00:46:07 I love fetiches. Even though it upsets my tummy, I will eat it every time it's in front of me. Okay. I love Kalamata olives and the rest. Whatever else is in a Greek salad, I eat it up to the last bite. The way too big chunks of tomato, I eat it.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Don't cut them smaller, please. Keep giving me just a whole quarter of a tomato. I'll just try to do it with my fork and then it'll splatter everywhere. If you're walking on a thin line. It's delicious. I'll eat the whole bite of tomato. There you go.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Ooh, what's up guys? We wanna take a quick break to thank another sponsor of today's episode, MoneyGram. We live in a world that's more digital than ever, with nearly everyone or needs just a tap away. And so many of our favorite digital services seamlessly meet the physical world when they're delivered to your front door, but until now, that hasn't been true for a crypto.

Starting point is 00:47:26 activated by MoneyGram. Learn more at moneygram.com slash. Della Wallets. So he's a Hungarian Holocaust survivor. He started a hedge fund and he was made... I think the first big thing that he did that made him famous was he broke the bank of England, quote unquote, because he shorted the pound with like $10 billion worth.
Starting point is 00:47:52 He shorted $10 billion worth of sterling of the pound and made a billion dollars. And you know who was his partner during that? Stan Druckermiller. Stan Druckermiller. Exactly right. And he's just... From like it dates, I was, it was very interesting reading into this guy. This quote from the business,
Starting point is 00:48:15 from business insider sums it up well. For two decades, some have seen Soros as a kind of puppet master, secretly controlling the global economy and politics. What I did not know is that he has donated over $32 billion to charitable progressive. That's pretty on par for a billionaire. 32 billion. How much money do you think Bill Gates has given away?
Starting point is 00:48:37 That's a good point. Probably, I don't know, do you know? 50. He's fucking, and it's a ton of money. Well he's got this thing called the open site. They're all tax right off some put it It all goes into the gates foundation. Yeah, you know, they he's That's what I find out. I don't you know his spending habits don't seem particularly Yeah, nefarious
Starting point is 00:49:00 Well or that different from other Billionaires, I mean he spends more on political things. And that was, so he is probably very affected from his upbringing and, you know, not the occupied Hungary. And then, so at the end of the Cold War, he started spending heavily on, he spent millions funding institutions in post-communist societies, most notably his native Hungary designed to ease the transition away from communism and strengthen democracy's
Starting point is 00:49:29 foundations. But his first real foray in US politics was during the Bush years. He got in in 2004, whatever was losing their mind. That was the first time I heard people saying, if Bush, if this president gets reelected, I'll leave the country. I remember those days. Yeah. I do remember those. And no one ever fucking left the Pussy's go. And that was, that was around the time when American conservatives started picking up on, on the thread of going after Soros. and apparently Bill O'Reilly was one of the first,
Starting point is 00:50:06 he did this several minutes, he did a whole segment on him, and he called him off the charts dangerous. Like Jesus Christ, have you seen, by the way, if you don't know what George Soros looks like, picture a melted baby. Jesus Christ. He looks like a melted baby. Jesus, baby. He looks like, he looks like a melted baby.
Starting point is 00:50:25 He really does. But there is such a long history of people going after him. I don't know if you folks know this, but he was behind the 2017 Women's March. He funds snopes, the fact checking website. He funded gun control activism after Marjorie Stoneman shootings, after the Marjorie Stoneman shooting. He funded the October 2018 Central American immigrant
Starting point is 00:50:48 caravans, the protests against Brett Kavanaugh, Trump even tweeted that he was behind those. And most recently, he really got big in the Obama years. Yes. He funded the George Floyd protests. No, but what do you say? What do you mean like funding?
Starting point is 00:51:04 You make it exactly. What are they fucking talking about? The hired pro to paid protesters? Okay, it's all this. Oh, you're saying that's what they're saying. That's what they're crediting. Right, right, right, right. It's all paid protest.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Every time people are out in the streets because George Soros is personally depositing money into their accounts. Right. 2016, the Panama Papers come out. and the Icelandic Prime Minister got ousted. Who does he blame? George Soros. George Soros.
Starting point is 00:51:33 He bankrolled the opposition, even though George Soros was also implicated in the Panama Papers. We love it. We got the president of Azerbaijan during the 2018 Armenian Revolution said that it was just quote another Provocation by Soros and his entourage then Erdogan in November of 2018 Speaking about political purges in Turkey quote the famous Hungarian Jew Soros This is a man who assigns people to divide nations and shatter them You know for an old melted baby, he's really spy.
Starting point is 00:52:06 He's really on it. He's got his fingers in everything. I don't know if being an old melted baby gets you off the hook for, there are plenty of old melted babies doing quite, that's true, the quite a number on the world. Yeah. Well, the Koch brothers would be old melted baby at this point. That's right, because there's only one left. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:52:25 You got the 2022 Brazilian election. This guy, Ciro Gomez, the candidate for the Democratic Labor Party claimed that the socialism and liberty party was funded by Soros. This lawyer was on Fox News in November 2019, said that Soros, quote, controls a very large part of the career foreign service of the United States State Department, and also controls activities of FBI agents overseas who work for NGOs.
Starting point is 00:52:50 And then when he was forced to retract, the same guy then suggested, well, I guess Fox News is all controlled by Soros. He's just fucking everywhere. But why? Like I mean, there's not to what end? No, no, but there's, it makes total sense why this is happening, right? There's not a ton of billionaires who are,
Starting point is 00:53:09 and I don't think he's super left-wing or anything. He seems to be more progressive than the average billionaire, but I don't think like backing fucking John Kerry or Barack Obama is like, oh my God, this left-wing fucking, I don't know, but, so they go after this guy because they want to discredit anything he's a part of. Like he's got a lot of money to spread to democratic issues, liberal issues.
Starting point is 00:53:37 And so they just go, oh, I mean, the amount of dog whistles you hear, like foreign born when they describe him. Yeah. I mean, to outright just like, I mean, they talk about the Glenn Beck. He did a whole show on him. Basically a prime time conspiracy theory hour focused on, focused its fire on Sora's,
Starting point is 00:53:55 2010 three part special titled exposing George Soros, the puppet master. Question mark. Beck accused Soros of being the secret hand behind a slew of coups and revolutions in the former Eastern block. So what is this target now? Us America backed all those viewers. So that brings me to what I wanted to say earlier, which is that just because you're Jewish doesn't mean that you're above criticism and you're Jewish guy in power. I mean, that's, that's where it gets tricky,
Starting point is 00:54:25 right? Because this David Sacks tweet, if we've toured the bottom there, David Sacks, the, is he a billionaire? David Sacks. He's this investor, douchebag guy, and he tweeted this. He said, George Soros has been so uniquely destructive to law and order in American cities that there's a name for the carnage he's wrought soros d a's his organization described it strategy to political in a twenty sixteen article it would change the law not by going through legislatures but rather by buying underfunded d a elections his d a's would then change the law through the abuse of prosecutor prosecutorial
Starting point is 00:55:01 discretion he does he does fund he does uh. He does. For example, high profile right now, uh, fuck. Bragg? Yes, Alvin Bragg. The guy who indicted Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:55:12 Yes, he did, he did fund his election. And the GOP, I shouldn't say fund. Donate, you know, it wasn't completely funded by, and then everybody on the GOP, DeSantis Abbott, ghost, gozer, Vance, they're all saying that he was bought and paid for. But you also need to look at who the opponents are funded by as well.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Like no one's, uh, yeah. So, but David Sacks here says, uh, Soros sought to have an outsized impact on public policy. He should not be immune from criticism. I agree. And any other context, the influence of money in politics would be a legitimate topic of conversation. Yeah, fully. Indeed, it is highly appropriate in a democracy to recognize when a special interest has subverted the public interest. That's what we've been saying, my guy. Right, the whole thing is, let's get rid of it all.
Starting point is 00:55:58 The whole thing is it's fine if my guys are doing it, but it's not fine if that guy's doing it. Yeah. Guess who replied to that tweet? Elon Musk. Good guess. He said perfectly said. Among other things, Soros has astutely identified a massive arbitrage opportunity in district-atonia elections where a relatively small amount of money has outsized influence. Soros' instructions to his pet prosecutors were essentially to minimize prosecuting
Starting point is 00:56:26 even violent criminals. That's why a criminal, someone who had already stabbed his roommate could brutally assault Dave Chappelle on stage with that same deadly weapon and yet receive merely a misdemeanor. So what are they getting at? They're basically Soros' own people said exactly in that political article,
Starting point is 00:56:46 they were saying what their goal was, they realized that they could influence things and affect positive change, progressive policies by getting really, really down into the micro of it, DA elections, that nobody thinks about, because otherwise, there were many, it was like 85% of... of that's not like a fucking that's not like a genius mastermind plan. Of course.
Starting point is 00:57:11 Local politics have been talking about that very thing with that with very little funding at all. Right. And small dollar donations, you can make a big change. But the majority of them are white and a surprising amount of them would run on a post. So their strategy was to, and for very relatively low amounts of money, all things considered, they can fund these people's elections. See, I'm almost saying it too, they can buy these elections and have these people put into place. And I think the problem that people run into in David Sacks is a perfect example is it's not like these progressive politicians end goal is to fully disrupt and destroy society.
Starting point is 00:58:02 I think obviously their intentions are good. It's criminal justice reform. Oh, see, I disagree. Yeah. I'm not joking. I think this is all bad. I really wish Elon, like, if they were going to talk about this, I wish they were talking about how billionaire should not be like puppet masters is not that crazy to think about. Sure. Billionaires influencing our system. Right. But instead, he's taking a weird right wing talking point and just rehashing and going, like, Soros funded, Soros funded,
Starting point is 00:58:31 and it's like, oh wow, dude, that's so, and it's the same thing where people think he's talking to them, standing up for them because he's shouting at a billionaire or whatever. It's like, dude, you're just doing the same fucking bullshit. You're just recycling this fucking tired ass shit. Right. And if you really had any like,
Starting point is 00:58:49 if he actually believed in any of the stuff they're talking about about how like, they shouldn't be funding these things. He'd be, be, be, point at the finger at himself and all his fucking friends and all these fucking people who are involved in it. Right. Instead, it's just like, look at this one guy
Starting point is 00:59:04 who's been famously, the whole thing is so predictable. I mean, even the Linda Yaccarino hiring, it's like she was a Trump appointee. She was a Trump appointee to the ad council. Yeah, it's like, but she's got the same views as him. She, that, you know, people have been digging through her likes, like whatever, you liking shit does not mean you can't it's fine. It's just like he's clearly signaling what he means when they're talking about
Starting point is 00:59:33 free speech. Sure. But what I'm saying is that when you look at the state of San Francisco, which is famously not doing too well, and there are a lot of people living on the streets and a lot of people with mental health issues and there's a lot of crime and stuff. They point to the district attorneys that were bought and paid for, quote unquote, by Soros and the likes of Soros as being evidence that that's what they want. They want to destroy society
Starting point is 01:00:03 by just letting criminals run free. But it's obviously- Oh, I mean, the shitheads are talking about with like Chesa boot and then shit. Yeah. They fucking recalled them. And now like all the same stuff they're talking about is still going on.
Starting point is 01:00:14 Yeah, so I just want to share this quote from the political article. His money has supported African American and Hispanic candidates for these powerful local roles, all of whom ran on platform sharing major goals of Soros' like reducing racial disparities in sentencing and directing some drug offenders to diversion programs instead of to trial. So I don't know. I feel like their hearts are in the right place.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Soros, I don't fucking know. Like these district attorneys. Oh, 100%. I attorneys, though. 100%. I mean, there's, just kids, it doesn't work the way that they hope for it. No, no, but that's mean that they're doing it on purpose. But that doesn't mean it doesn't work. Because, that's it.
Starting point is 01:00:55 That's it. Because someone dies, it's very easy to discredit these things because you can look at one instance and it's obviously very tragic, right? Someone's died, someone's been let out and whatever. But- Someone tried to stab you. You're not looking at, you're not looking at, right,
Starting point is 01:01:09 high profile case. You get to go on to TV, go on to the internet, say, look, this is what they want to turn your city into, they want to make it dangerous for you, think about your family, your kids, blah, blah. But no one's ever pointing out stats, no one's ever saying, yeah, someone died, but crime is down.
Starting point is 01:01:24 Yeah. So it's the easiest, yeah, someone died, but crime is down. Yeah. So it's the easiest thing in the world to discredit. Well, we are definitely open for Soros money. If he wants to send us a checker, I mean, I can take Coke money. I'll take any money. If they're handing it out, green, baby, it smells the same. I fucking take it, man. Am I right? It's got US presidents on it. It smells the same. I fucking take it, man. Am I right? It's got US presidents on it. Even Elon's money. I'll actually take yours too.
Starting point is 01:01:49 I'm good with that. Yeah. I don't know about that. The dollar. So, if you're listening, makron, or however you fucking say it. Akron. Let's look at some of Elon's weird tweets too while we're at it. These responses that he loves to do.
Starting point is 01:02:04 I feel like we already talked about them. We've mentioned this already. I guess he just responds with one word things. There's this guy talking about black owned, black crime and stuff and Elon just replies interesting. And they're all... I feel like it's a describe every tweet. Yeah, I guess.
Starting point is 01:02:19 Okay. Well, for the audio listener, you know. Yeah, here's another semi-racial meme and he just, what did he say? Accurate. All right. Do we want to play the Iron Man thing? No, let's move on. Let's talk about, like, what do the AI show for me? We don't have very much time. Should we talk about the girlfriend? AI girlfriend? We're working on?
Starting point is 01:02:43 Or should we do Sam Altman? Yeah, let's talk about Sam Altman. Sam Altman. Another Jew. Another powerful rich Jew. Huh, curious. Mr. Mr. Altman goes to Washington. Congressional hearings with Mr. Altman. Who is the CEO of OpenAI. Yeah, actually Elon's the founder. Let's get it straight.
Starting point is 01:03:09 I'll fucking sue you to make sure that it's... Yeah. It was my idea. Yeah, but... Did you look into it at all or listen to any of it? I got snippets of it, yeah. I will say it was a bit different than the other one. So a lot of these things when they hall tech people down to Congress,
Starting point is 01:03:31 it's, you know, you guys have seen the clips where it's like, they get it spanky. No, not at all. They end up going, how do I unlike my nephews picture? Can you change my Wi-Fi? But some of them seemed kind of prepared. The Senator Richard Blumenthal opened the hearings with his opening statements, which he later revealed.
Starting point is 01:03:55 We're written by AI. Yeah. And my question would be, who taught 77 year old ass Richard Blumenthal? One of his staffers. I know. One of his staffers. But so they seem to have come prepared. would be who taught 77 year old ass Richard Blumenthal. One of his staffers. I know. One of his staff.
Starting point is 01:04:07 So they seem to have come prepared. There was someone made a comment that we don't want to, we don't want the same thing that happened with social media to happen. You know, the whole social media thing got away with us. We want to make sure we're on top. Now we can't reign it in because the donors from, from, from meta and Google and
Starting point is 01:04:31 Too much god damn place. They give us too much money for us to go out this happening. Yeah, yeah, and you're your girl My girl she had a very pointed question. Did you see her? Who's my girl Diane finestein? Oh? Fucking walk now death because you were making fun of her. Yeah, and she here. I have it She said it's my impression of Diane Cause you were making fun of her. Yeah. And she, here I have it. Whoa. No, no, she said, Oh, she said, uh, it's my impression of Diane. Oh, Help me. Which, uh, so I guess Mr.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Altman didn't really have a retort for that. Yeah. Ma'am, I don't know what you're saying, but you look at that. He can't stand my joke, but it's, um, No, that's pretty good. Yeah, I know, but you kind of already were doing the...
Starting point is 01:05:03 Well, he did, one interesting thing I already were doing the. Well, he did one interesting thing I found that Sam Altman said was he, he proposed that there should be government, government licensing for people who want to create AI. So that doesn't run rampant. It's also very different in the sense that usually when they're getting hauled down, there are tech people are saying, Oh, you guys have no understanding of this. Get the fuck out of our way. Sam Altman is saying he wants, he wants regulation. He's saying, I quote, I think if this technology goes wrong, it can go quite wrong. And we want to be vocal about that.
Starting point is 01:05:37 We want to work with the government to prevent that from happening. Right. So he presented, uh, he's got a little bit of a three point plan here. And just to be so the the Biden administration has been taking, taking comments about AI regulation. The EU is I think putting out something soon. China has put something out very quickly because they want to make sure that any AI models adhere to their, they've heard, but they've a pretty strict regime. Well, yeah, they want to make sure it doesn't speak ill of the CCP or anything. But so he thinks the US government should regulate companies like his and he laid out a three
Starting point is 01:06:16 point plan. He wants to form a new government agency charged with licensing large AI models and empower it to revoke that license for companies whose models don't comply with government standards. Love it. Create a set of safety standards for AI models, including evaluations of their dangerous capabilities. For instance, models would have to pass certain tests for safety, such as whether they could self-replicate and expel trait into the wild.
Starting point is 01:06:37 That is, to go rogue and start acting on their own, require independent audits by independent experts of the model's performance on various metrics. I'll tell that sounds like it should take the government about 50 years to implement, right? Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And that's the, so, and one of the things that was noticeably absent was in the hearing he was with Christina Montgomery, IBM's chief privacy and trust officer, and
Starting point is 01:07:06 Gary Marcus, a well-known professor and frequent critic of AI technology. And Gary Marcus wants a transparency around all this training data and everything, but that is not included in any of Sam Altman's proposals. Interesting. And it is interesting also to note that, and I think this is part of why he's so freely calling for these government licensing and restrictions like that is because he revealed, because one of these Congress guys
Starting point is 01:07:39 is looking at him going, how much money do you make, sir? He said only enough to cover his health insurance and that he also does not have any equity in open AI You don't believe so you can lie about that. He's under oath. I just wore to God in the Bible Well, so he says he doesn't have any equity in open AI right, but it's like I don't know. I was trying to look into it He's already independently wealthy. He's been a tech guy and an investor. He has like hundreds of millions. Yeah, yeah. Nobody knows how much he's worth.
Starting point is 01:08:07 From his days at Y-combinator. Yeah, invested in Airbnb and Uber and all that shit. Also, I mean, who knows how it's structured? They got a huge investment from Microsoft. Sure. Maybe they gave him stock and Microsoft. Yeah, sure. So he's like, well, I don't hold any, I don't hold any,
Starting point is 01:08:27 hold things in chat GPT or opening up. Even then, the fact that he's calling, and they're getting ahead of it, and he is owning up to the fact that it can and might become dangerous or get out of hand is good. I think that that's responsible. I would like to see a lot more. I don't understand how it could even possibly be regulated.
Starting point is 01:08:50 I don't understand how. I don't get it either. They're gonna, you're gonna shut people's, how you gonna shut people's operations. Sounds like can't shut the internet. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, you can't do it. How are you gonna, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:03 And so, too late. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, you can't do it. How are you gonna? Yeah. And so Too late. Yeah It's okay. I also don't I don't know We all remember we all remember another Sam who said he was all doing it for the good of humanity Who is a new tech company? Are you serious? Sam? Bankman Freed. Oh, yeah, SPF. I only know him from his acronym, SBF. Yeah, CurlyQ. Of course.
Starting point is 01:09:27 Yeah, I don't know. I can envision Sam Altman and a Bahamian jail in a couple of years. Oh, remember that joke I made about how the Bahamian police sirens are just steel drums? Yeah. Yeah, I just remembered that. It was great.
Starting point is 01:09:41 Great joke. Like a world glass joke. In your head, there's just people chanting, Ben, Ben, Ben Ben Ben Ben should we wrap it up or should I do a quick little market update? What do you think whatever you want to do? You you want me to wrap it up? Yeah Fuck well, okay I'm kidding are you good? Yeah, I'm good. Are you good? Yeah, I'm good.
Starting point is 01:10:05 Are you good? I feel bad. Why? I don't think we did good. You don't think we did good? I feel like this was a fucking banger. Do you? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:14 Luke, what do you think? Banger or not banger? I thought it was a good episode. Okay, that's a fact. No, I asked banger or not banger. He gave you what you wanted and he didn't say banger. That means not banger. That means not banger, dude.
Starting point is 01:10:23 Also, I don't think people say banger anymore. Okay, that's why I didn't want to say banger. That means not banger, dude. Also, I don't think people say banger anymore. Okay. That's why I didn't want to say banger. I don't even say it. I was trying to speak the kids language. What's the opposite of mid? I don't know, treble.
